Data Encryption used in AWARD®
The use of HTTPS/TLS1.2 minimum ensures that all data is encrypted whilst in transit.
Data ‘at rest’ – i.e.. whilst stored on the live AWARD servers:
- Data is encrypted at rest with AES 256-bit disk encryption.
- If data is downloaded on to a local machine, it becomes unencrypted.
- All AWARD backups are 256-bit encrypted.
Access to the AWARD servers are restricted to a limited and identified group of operators, all of whom have UK Government SC level clearance as a minimum.
For further details, please raise a ticket and ask for a copy of our Security and Accreditation datasheet.
